our funniest one was some kid in a beat up rusted out tercel. revving his engine beside us at a stoplight leading onto a highway(two lanes side by side) when the light changed he dropped the clutch,hammered on his gas pedal and spun at least one front tire briefly, . we stayed with him through second gear.by then he was maybe doing50 KMH so we waved bye,rolled on the throttle,accelerated up to highway speed and left him with his mouth hanging open. :bow down: :drive:

sounds like my winter beater. i lost a race similar to that against a minivan.

Omg I hate the chip upgrade crap... I had this 11 yr old kid who is a son of some neighbor I hate come up to me and say omg is that your car?

I said, " no it's my girlfriends"
I always say that,

anyways he says "OMG!! DID YOU KNOW YOU CAN PUT A CHIP IN IT AND GIVE IT 1000HP?"
I said "no you can't"

He said, "yes you can. I saw it on T.V."

I said back, "Your t.v. must have 1000hp then, it has a couple chips in it."

dumb...

I am going to mount a switch in my car that say right beside it

"1000 hp switch".

Then when people say that to me, I can say "yeah I got it right here."

to stick up for the 11y/o there was a show on tv not to long ago that stated that with tuning a skyline can get up to 1000hp.....my father watched and told me once i got home from the gym that i have to get my skyline now....i love my dad but ya not sure what the show was but definitly giving false info.

[Stinky_1]

why not? with tuning any car can have 1000 hp.

Its not as easy as a "chip", but you can still do it.

it was said that with stock motor 1000hp could be generated and thats a BIG no turbo's cant produce enough boost and things would melt/brake, that why television is killing are youth....lol stick to magc school bus they teach all the things you need to kno to live...did you know if your not lucky you can be baked into a pie??? i know watch my back when in the kitchen you never know what can happen

[kelaog]

lol. They can tune the magic school bus to have 1000hp with a chip

And damn I need to get the 1000hp switch, along with mounting it with the 80 MPG switch, and the 500HP daily driving switch. Hell lets include a "Fix it switch" as well

i got two. first one happened at a cscs event. i arrived there in a convoy and once we stop to look for parking someone comes and starts to look at the car. which is perfectly fine. then starts asking me about the car and tells me that these come 450hp stock(thank god he didnt say 1000) and that it runs 11 seconds stock. i told him no and that its about 280-290 stock and runs low 13's stock. then he said that he read in on the internet(so it must be true). then i told him no and that i know people that dynoed close to 300 with just exhaust, intake, and boost controller. then he said he was sure that it was 450hp stock. thats when i started to walk away slowly.

2nd one. i just picked up my gf downtown and was starting the car then i notice someone right beside my car examing the rear of the car which then he proceded to do the same for the front. while i was starting to back out of my parking spot he goes to my window and motions me to lower my window. which i did. then first thing he asked me was i this a real skyline. i wanted to tell him "no your just dreaming. close your eyes". but i just told him yes. then he says "Nice, so you have 1000bhp.".:hit_head: so i just tell him a guesstimate of 320bhp and proceded to back up as quickly as i can.


we seriously need to make ads on tv and newspapers saying that skylines arent 1000hp.

When I was getting my car safetied, it was parked outside during the day. And a guy that works at the same complex cam up and asked about the steering wheel. I said I have to fire my mechanic the A$$H0L3 put it back togeather wrong.

[SpartanAir]

When I was in my GTS-4, some girl asked me "Wow, cool car! Where are YOU from?"

Where am I from? What, did I drive straight on to a container ship from down under one day, and see where I would end up? Like Kurt Russell in Death Proof, I just drive randomly around? Maybe I'm 1/32 Japanese, I grew up in Japan, hopped over to Russia one day, and drove up across the Bering Straight in the winter when it was frozen????

WHAT KIND OF QUESTION IS THAT????

[NerdJuice]

Like alot of the members on here I've had the usual staring, stupid comments ("Your steering wheel's on the wrong side, AHAHAHAHA"), "Is it RHD"? "Is it Legal"? "Where did you get it"? and such. Some of my unusual stories are:

Driving down Whyte, and I stop at a red light, when a bright blue convertible PT cruiser stops beside me, and the owner (who is wearing a bright orange HEMI ball cap) gives me a big thumbs up and yells "Nice Skyline man!". I thanked him and I think I appreciated it more because he seemed like a muscle kind of guy.

I pull on to the yellowhead on my way home beside one of those early 90's integras that had a fart cannon and intake and such. I see the passenger spin around in his seat and do a double take at my car and they drive off as fast as they can. I just kind of chuckle to myself and maintain the speed limit when I get passed (albeit very slowly) by yet another early 90's teg driven by really young kids who are just givin' her to pass me.

Lastly, I'm driving home and I pull up to a red. I notice the older lady to my right is staring at my car, but not like the usual glancing side view, but full on head tilted to a 45 degree angle, mouth open stare. So I look at her, look away, look back, look away, look back and wave. She then snaps out of it and looks all embarrassed.

Also, you guys shouldn't be so hard on "punk kids". We're not all bad, and some of us are owners. 8)

I had to do a presentation at my old high school in regards to computer programming as it is the course I am going into. Me and the teacher are old buddies so we were chatting it up before class. I had driven back to tisdale the night before in the skyline and cut some laps to see what was up. Anyway, I start my presentation and I am about 5-10min into and these kids in the back row are just chattin' away in whispers and such. I look back there and ask if there is any questions they want to ask. Dead silence followed by
"Are you the guy with the Skyline?"
I laughed "Yes, yes I am. Any questions about programming?"
"What did you pay for it?"
"How fast does it go?""
"Do you race it?"

All these questions getting shot at me at once. The teacher, whom has ridden in it, tells the class to stay on topic and tells them I will answer their car questions after my presentation.

So I babbled on for another 15-20 minuets, answered the two programming questions, then after i was thanked for presenting I answered another 20 min of Skyline related questions. They were more interested in my Skyline then they were in the presentation. I thought it was pretty funny.

I did two more presentations and by the start of the third presentation the teacher had to tell the class that any car questions will have to wait till after class to be answered. Word spreads fast in small town schools. lol

So went to the local walmart tonight for some random stuff. as im walking into the store with my g/f a guy walks up beside me and the convo starts lol

guy - what kind of car is that?
me- a skyline
guy- oh, i wasnt sure, didnt look like the rest of them!
me- well its just your standard skyline, nothing special
guy- yeah theres sooooo many a/m parts for those that you cant tell what they are after a point

now in my head i was praying i didnt get the, you can get a chip that gives you 1000hp, but the stuff he was rambling to me about skylines especially when he couldnt even tell my stock outside gts-4 was a skyline.

after 2mins of not being able to proceed in the store my gf saved me by butting in and sending me to the customer service desk. lol

just figured id add my little story into the thread. time for bed.
